Augrented Insights Report for 520 Manhattan Avenue

520 Manhattan Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building in Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Malcolm Punter. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints and inspections, though most were resolved relatively quickly. More recent concerns include an open complaint from March 2025 regarding a gutter/leader issue on the outside of the building.

The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024, primarily affecting apartments 5A and 5E, including problems with plastered surfaces, paint, light fixtures, and leaks. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding device status and alternate service, receiving various Oath Violations. The property has documented bedbug activity in recent years, with two infested units reported in 2024, though this followed a period of successful eradication in previous years.

The building has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025. There are also multiple active Environmental Control Board violations related to the building's sidewalk shed and other maintenance issues, with significant penalties imposed. These violations include concerns about expired permits, missing safety components, and elevator system defects. Recent inspections have consistently passed for rodent control, suggesting effective management of vermin issues, though other maintenance concerns remain.
